Over at the Netly News Network, we've decided it's time to update our Censorware Search Engine. For those of you who haven't checked it recently, it's a one-of-a-kind web site that lets you see if you've been blocked by filtering software:
We're planning to update this with newer decrypted lists from some of the vendors like SurfWatch, CyberPatrol, and so on. If you have a list and you'd like it to be included, please send it along.
Just out of curiousity I did a search on pathfinder.com :) CyberPatrol: http://binone.pathfinder.com/cgi-bin/boa SexActs CyberSitter: pathfinder.com SurfWatch: http://bubblemouth.pathfinder.com/@@srbndqaaaaaaaeeg/vibe/archive/independan... http://mouth.pathfinder.com/@@srbndqaaaaaaaeeg/vibe/archive/independant/blac... No surprise that Cybersitter has the entire domain blocked. Odd the SurfWatch blocks the archives for Vibe magazine yet does not block www.vibe.com. The URL blocked by CyberPatrol is invalid. There was someone who did this awhile back and promptly had his domain blocked by these self appointed protectors of "Truth, Democracy, and The American Way". I was rather disappointed (though not surprised) watching the Censorship Summit a couple of weeks ago that no one took these self appointed Censors to task on the fact that they block sites not mearly on the type of information contained (sex,drugs,violence,...ect) but also block based on political content that disagrees with their own beliefs. Sure fire way to get a site blocked is not to put "dirty" pictures up on it but to put up anything that brings to light the actions of these groups. An intriguing side note is that ALL these groups considers their Censor Lists to be IP. Add that with the new Criminalization of copyright infringement and we may see Declan sharing a cell with Jim Bell. :) - -- - --------------------------------------------------------------- William H.
